The London payments infrastructure platform announced the launch on October 22, 2026, according to [PR Newswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/mercuryo-launches-swaps-for-seamless-movement-between-digital-tokens-302916736.html).\n\n## How Mercuryo's Swaps Product Works\n\nSwaps is designed to offer fixed quotes, zero slippage and transparent pricing, with transactions executable seamlessly. The product supports bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether tokens (USDt), USDC (USDC), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), BNB (BNB), TRON (TRX), Polygon (POL), Chainlink (LINK), Cardano (ADA), Algorand (ALGO), NEAR Protocol (NEAR), Gram (GRAM), XRP (XRP), Avalanche (AVAX), Stellar (XLM), Dogecoin (DOGE), Pepe (PEPE), Kaspa (KAS), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Sui (SUI), Polkadot (DOT) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).\n\nTokens can also be moved between transport layers, including Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, TRON, NEAR Protocol, TON, Avalanche, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Cardano, Algorand, XRP Ledger, Stellar, Dogecoin, Kaspa, Sui, Polkadot and Bitcoin Cash. Liquidity for the Swaps function is sourced through a cryptocurrency exchange that applies AML controls.\n\n\"Swaps enables you to respond immediately to moving markets, whether that means moving into a more speculative token when an opportunity arises or moving back into stablecoins to reduce exposure to volatility,\" said Arthur Firstov, Chief Business Officer at Mercuryo. \"A remote worker receiving a salary in bitcoin may want to convert a portion of their income into a stablecoin to reduce exposure to price volatility,\" Firstov said.\n\nSwaps is not available to users in the US, UK or European Economic Area. The launch follows Mercuryo data for on-ramp transaction activity in the first six months of 2026 showing stablecoins climbed from 43 per cent to 60 per cent of all on-ramp volume. During that period, the prices of bitcoin and Ethereum fell 33.2 per cent and 47.3 per cent, respectively.\n\n## Mercuryo's Funding and Partnership Records\n\nMercuryo is a London-based B2B crypto payments infrastructure provider founded in 2018, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records list two funding rounds: a $7.5 million Series A in June 2021 led by Target Global and a $3 million seed in September 2020 led by Target Global. Mercuryo's on-ramp is available across 150+ countries with local fiat currencies, and 12M+ KYC'd users have been onboarded to web3 through it.\n\n## Earlier Mercuryo Stablecoin and On-Ramp Launches\n\nOn September 30, 2026, Mercuryo announced a limited-time offer waiving its fees on on-ramp purchases for new MetaMask users in Canada from September 30 to October 31, 2026, PR Newswire reported. On September 16, 2026, Mercuryo and Tangem launched a limited-time zero-fee on-ramp for USDC on Stellar, allowing card purchases into Tangem wallets, with a $150/€150 minimum and $700/€700 cap per transaction, PR Newswire reported. On August 20, 2026, Mercuryo reported a 75% year-on-year increase in its overall conversion rate for fiat-to-crypto purchases during the first half of 2026, rising from 12% to 21%, PR Newswire reported.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
